Somerset Mall (South Africa)

Somerset West was opened in November 1993. In 2025, the mall underwent major renovations, at a cost of R350 million. The revamp added 26 new stores, and approximately 5,500 sqm of retail space. Somerset Mall's GM, Nicholas Oliphant, stated that the revamp would contribute meaningfully to local economic development. The construction during renovations supported around 1,200 jobs, and the new retail space is expected to support around 400 jobs on an ongoing basis. Phase 1 of the redevelopment finished on 3 December 2025. == Location ==
